Ah, a brisk and exhilarating morning sprint for the train. Now this is life. Not only do I have time before work to get a quick workout in, it’s almost mandatory!
Picked up hardware from various locations around Boston yesterday. Two G5 xservers, and four G4’s. Brought the G4’s back to BDC, and took the G5’s home with me to serve as a development environment. This is going to rock. The G4 servers are seriously old school. They appear to be from the very first hardware run of Xservers. I really want to get some linux variant running on the G5s.
On the way home from Boston, I stopped off at the Braintree “Rock Bottom Brewery,” since my friend Tim recently became a manager there, and I haven’t seen him in a while. He introduced me to the master brewer (Scott Bunell) and got me a tour and some samples of the reserve stock. Scott had recently completed a “bourbon aged scotch ale.” The idea is that you put the beer in a barrel which had been used for aging bourbon, and vary the pressure for about three months to force the beer in and out of the wood. That was some good stuff. A fine example of a style that I will never be able to make at home. Sure, I could fake it with oak chips or something, but why?
